Class Cancellation Policy ruler

The Law Center follows the federal government's policy on weekday morning closings or late openings when there is inclement weather. You can check the federal government's operating status at http://www.opm.gov/status/.

  • For morning classes, this means that when the federal government is open, the Law Center is open.
  • When the federal government is closed, the Law Center is closed. All administrative offices will be closed. Faculty teaching classes held at the Law Center will be telephoned by the staff of the Office of the Registrar, an announcement will be recorded on the class cancellation line at (202) 662-9446 and will be posted on the Law Center's main web page http://www.law.georgetown.edu/
  • When the federal government announces 'adjusted home departure of 2 hours', the Law Center will open for 11:10 a.m. classes.  Faculty teaching classes held at the Law Center will be telephoned by the staff of the Office of the Registrar, an announcement will be recorded on the class cancellation line at (202) 662-9446 and will be posted on the Law Center's main web page http://www.law.georgetown.edu/
  • When the federal government announces "unscheduled leave", every effort will be made to hold classes as scheduled. (Individual professors may decide to cancel classes at their own discretion; the Announcements page and the class cancellation line [202 662-9446] will reflect these cancellations.)
  • The Law Center will make its own determination of whether to cancel late afternoon, evening or Saturday classes. If we cancel, faculty teaching classes held at the Law Center will be telephoned by the staff of the Office of the Registrar, an announcement will be recorded on the class cancellation line at (202) 662-9446 and will be posted on the Law Center's main web page http://www.law.georgetown.edu/
Every effort will be made to adhere to the examination schedule even if there is inclement weather.
